Excerpt:

Amazon is leading a quartet of partners, which also include Arris’ Ruckus Networks division, Federated Wireless and Athonet, in announcing a partnership to deliver a cloud-based private LTE network solution based on CBRS.

As detailed this week by technology org IEEE, this could be only the first emergence of Amazon’s expansive plans for CBRS spectrum use, with speculation that the technology giant has set up perhaps the largest testing apparatus yet to test CBRS-enabled devices and solutions.

The companies behind the just-announced solution are targeting developers, independent software vendors, telecom operators, the public sector and enterprises – any entity that needs quick deployment of industrial IoT applications such as real-time surveillance, smart meters and worker safety monitoring.
